Black Metallic
The Air Jordan 5 Black Metallic is a legendary shoe in its OG form. Jordan Brand has put a spin on its classic design for its 2025 return. The Reimagined release has more reflective materials. There are reflective metal piping and white laces.
The V
The great Tinker Hatfield designed the Jordan V. The sneaker is considered another classic on the resume of Tinker. You can make the argument that the V was the biggest departure for the line at that time. There are similarities that the Jordan 1-4 share. The V featured a much higher cut than the previous two Jordan models. A World War II plane reportedly inspired the design. The V was a huge stylistic departure for the series.
The Legacy of The Air Jordan V
By 1990 the Air Jordan line of sneakers was considered luxury basketball shoes. A status the brand still holds today in 2022. Every kid in America wanted a pair of the Jordan V sneakers. The V proved that the Jordan models were not losing momentum by 1990. The III and IV are two of the most beloved and memorable Air Jordan models. The V had a lot to live up to, and for the most part it lived up to the hype. The V might not be held in the same high regards as the III and IV, but it is still a widely popular addition to the franchise.
